Beagle Training

Cheerful, sociable and ruled by their nose. When that turns into ignoring recall, howling when left or stealing every crumb, here’s why it happens and how our Beagle training helps.

A scent hound bred to follow a trail for hours. Once the nose is down, the ears switch off.

Friendly with people and dogs, and bred to live in a pack, so being alone is hard for many.

Clever but independent. They learn fast when food is involved and lose interest when it isn’t.

The most common problems are following scent, pulling, howling, scavenging and separation stress.

Beagles were bred in Britain to hunt hares in packs, following a scent and calling to the hunt as they went. That nose, voice and love of company are still what make a Beagle a Beagle, and they explain most of the problems owners struggle with.

Nose down and gone. We build recall around real scent, a step at a time.

Following every smell at speed. We teach loose lead walking, with time to sniff as a reward.

Baying at the door, the garden or when left. We teach calm and quiet instead.

Counter surfing and scavenging on walks. We teach a reliable leave it.

Howling or chewing when left. We build up time apart in small, easy steps.

Digging under or squeezing through fences after a scent. We work on settling and recall, and talk you through keeping your garden secure.
